""This represents our commitment to love, to give us time to figure out, together, what our future holds,""
""Theoretically, you don't have to have marriage to be in love and to have a long-term commitment," Mel tells Bustle. "And like Peg always says, we're gonna do it our way, and it's gonna be our journey. And if it culminates in marriage, then it does. We have the same feeling toward each other, whether we're married or not.""
""I admire them, and I want to have a relationship like them," she says. "They are definitely the two people that I look up to, and they're not married.""
Mel Owens initially said he planned to cut contestants aged 60 and above and later apologized. In the Golden Bachelor finale he offered Peg Munson a ring but did not propose, saying the ring represents commitment and gives them time to determine their future together. Both emphasize that marriage is not required for love or a long-term commitment and intend to proceed in their own way. Peg cites Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn as a model for a long, unmarried relationship. The couple plans travel and shared experiences while navigating recent franchise controversies and short marriages.
